Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dedham, MA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Dedham offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
